Twitter makes user locations public. Users immediately discover many high-traffic MAGA accounts are astroturfing offshore accounts located in the Third World pretending to be American. Twitter turns off the feature within hours. Interesting.

Please restore country of origin labeling for X accounts. @elonmusk @nikitabier Thanks!

Is the new 10% tariff on imports from Canada related to the fentanyl emergency or the reciprocal trade emergency or are hurt feelings also now a national emergency?

Maybe - and I'm just spitballing here - having one person frenetically set, and then suddenly change, taxes on trillions of dollars in annual commerce isn't the best way to do US economic policy?

Trump tariffs, although twice ruled illegal, remain in place pending further litigation, taxing those Americans least able to pay and putting the world economy at risk.

My fear is that ordinary Americans are not experiencing the firing of an experienced, non-partisan, leader of a statistical agency as the major earthquake for the United States that it is.

literally still not how tariffs work

Our trade deal with Vietnam is a massive win for America's businesses, manufacturers, and farmers! For the FIRST TIME EVER, Vietnam will open its market to the United States. They will pay 20% to sell their products here, and 40% on transshipping - meaning if another country…

The White House has put itself and the country in a bad situation but doesn’t realize it yet. Around April 10th China to USA trade shut down. It takes ~30 days for containers to go from China to LA. 45 to Houston by sea, 45 to Chicago by train. 55 to New York by sea. That…

Year-over-year trucking activity out of Los Angeles down 23%. It will likely drop to 50% in the coming weeks if there isn't trade war resolution. Massive layoffs coming to the West Coast trucking sector

The amount of people who think the pain will be isolated to “import” businesses are showing very little forethought as to what is about to happen. If tariffs stand (I doubt they can) it will make Covid look like a bad haircut. We risk losing reserve currency status. Retirement…

Just to remind everyone: It is absolutely nuts that a single person is wreaking total havoc on the global economy, and doing it by exercising powers that the Constitution explicitly (and for good reason) reserves for Congress. This is not OK, and we shouldn't pretend it is.

We think tariffs are about bringing back manufacturing. Talk to small businesses first

Time to spit some truth. Tariffs can't possibly make this $5 injection-molded spatula made in Vietnam or China a level-playing field. Why? Because the $2/hr Vietnam worker or $4/hr Chinese worker literally can't be made equal to the $35/hr US worker through a tariff; the math…

Pete Hegseth in 2023 on Biden "handling classified documents... flippantly": "If at the very top there's no accountability," then we have "two tiers of justice."

The president of the United States scammed his own supporters out of tens of billions of dollars with a shitcoin and it was a story for a day and everybody just moved on. This country is beyond cooked.


Every single nfl team needs a vp of clock management. Billion dollar organizations that don't know basic game theory and optimal strategy 🤯

If you didn’t fully believe it before, tonight is living proof that Zac Taylor is THE absolute worst head coach in the entire National Football League. Book it. #firezactaylor

I want to get in a time machine to go back to 1998 and try to convince people that in 2024 a near-60 year old Mike Tyson will be fighting a kid from Disney Channel over the world wide web via the company that rents DVDs via mail, broadcast by Rosie Perez.

Genuinely curious what's going to happen when a society that buys everything from Amazon, Walmart, and Temu realizes what a 60% tariff on Chinese goods looks like.
